Lambs brain - I was aged 14 in Paris accompanying my DF on a work trip. We were out for dinner with his colleagues. I pushed it around in a grey murky gravy .. I’m 52 now and have still not got over the memory.

As a kid I ordered something from a menu in Normandy, France thinking it was chicken. I'd only jyst dtarted learning French at school and this was before Google Translate. Turns out I ordered chitterlings. 😣They were predictably gross.

Tofu why anyone would enjoy solidified semen is beyond me .

Yes. I was going to say Tofu too. Who the hell thought that was a good idea?

Also a bizarre meal I was given of macaroni pasta ( no sauce, just pasta) sprinkled with icing sugar and poppy seeds. Wtf, as a main meal.

Cuttlefish, luckily it was my DH's meal, I just tried it, so strange, tasted salty and the texture was like rubber. Chewed for ages and still had a mouthful of rubber, tried to swallow it and my throat rejected it. Thank god for paper serviettes. He couldn't eat it either. They asked if we wanted a box to take the leftovers home, nooooooooo! it was more the texture than the taste though.

American chocolate. Literally tastes like vomit

Now, we learnt about why that is when we went to the York Chocolate Story. Basically, America is massive and any food they produce to be stored, transported across the country has to be really stable at massive extremes of temperature ie: on shop shelves in Hawaii and Alaska, last for at least 2 years and be easily transported 1000s miles. To achieve this, American chocolate is pumped full of preservatives, and has a lot more oil/fat and a lot less coca solids than British chocolate.

US chocolate can't be called chocolate in the Britain.
British chocolate can't be called chocolate in Belgium.
It's all about the proportion of cocoa solids.

Tripe and andouilette are pretty disgusting. But I agree with the pp who said dog food Beanboozle jelly beans - unbelievably foul.

Raw sea urchin in a sushi restaurant - even thinking about it now makes me queasy .

Its 50:50 between Cactus in Mexico and an Army Ration Pack Corned beef Hash-cold, as we didn't have time to heat them up.

Oh my god @PuttingDownRoots I had that army ration corned beef hash 20 years ago and I still remember how awful it was!!!!

Tripe sashimi

The more you chew it the boingier it gets.

CMOTDibbler · 29/09/2022 21:14

Fertilised fish eggs at a stage where teeny baby fish were wiggling round in them. At the same meal there was also boiled pigs trotter. It was a business meal in Okinawa so I managed to eat some of both and not throw it up.

The powder they give you for worms 🤢
Or gave, this was around 1993.
Of course having worms is also 🤢

Oh my god yes. Still makes me heave when I think about that awful "raspberry" flavour

Therunecaster · 29/09/2022 21:17

The sprout pasta my DP makes as a 'treat'. Tastes like a old cock smells and makes me fart for days.

The pink powder? We used to mix it into yoghurt but it couldn't disguise the flavour. However I raise you the original green worming liquid medicine they used to sell beforein the 80s. It was bile straight from the mouth of Satan himself. We would have put today's Ovex on our Christmas list in preference to that green liquid horror! Grin

my mothers liver,kidneys,tripe or spouts
the liver,kidneys and spouts are boiled to hell and the tripe is to be eaten raw-out of the bag

mung bean curry-on a date
there was no second date
(and I farted foul farts for weeks)

oysters-my ex got me to try one once
it was like salty snot

vegan ice cream

a vegan wrap I bought in sainsburys by mistake-i went hungry at work that day

Sainsburys chocolate cake-I think it’s by taste the difference-dry,mealy,tasteless and the texture was weird
every bloody year my mil buys it for my dp’s birthday

goats cheese-I still feel sick at the thought

Duck gizzard and deep fried chicken feet. Both in China and both smelt and tasted revolting
